Vincent van Gogh in Houston
It seems like only yesterday that the work of Vincent van Gogh took up residence in Houston. Visitors explored key passages of his life and evolution as an artist through more than 50 masterworks in Vincent van Gogh: His Life in Art.
Van Gogh’s incomparable life and art inspired Jeremy Hamilton-Arnold, guest services coordinator at the MFAH, to take a walk in the artist’s shoes.
